The Fungal Theory

Impositive, I've tried that several months before my candida infection, and it was clear of floating legs. In the middle of the infection it was positive. So...I'm not sure either.

Only commenting I love the statement:...I am not only preventing a reoccurrence, I am trying to improve overall.

Great statement that's what it's all about improving your overall healthy and well being. 

Impositive...I read somewhere that the "stringy" were called "legs" . There are other ways to tell if you have a fungi infection ... copied from the Internet.

HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE A FUNGAL PROBLEM? The most common symptoms are vaginal yeast infections, sinus problems, digestive problems like heartburn, headaches, itchy scalp, ringing in the ears, sore joints, athlete's foot, jock itch and even high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and blood sugar ratings that are out of whack...also being over weight...

Impositive, while reading, take good notes and keep us informed on anything new you come up with especially in regard to the Breast Cancer Hope book. You're going to have to be a spokes/woman on the fungal theory

After my mouth healed up, I gave myself permission to enjoy the foods of the holiday seasons. I can tell that the candida is crawling under my skin. In a few weeks, I'm going back on the yeast cleansing. I just hope that my ignorance of candida over growth in the last few years hasn't caused a recurrence of bc or anything else. I would like to get a prescription of a strong anti-fungal presecription to give my body a good jumpstart in ridding myself of yeast.

Teeth...If mercury is causing my problems then there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Some people have the money to remove their fillings and to cap them or get dentures. Most people don't have that kind of money. In my opinion...a good diet, free of sugars, and a strong immune system (along with pro-biotics and needed supplements) can keep the yeast under control. I've read testimonies of people who had their fillings removed and struggled with candida overgrowth. I also read that the only real problem comes when you try to remove them or clean in them. If you are going to remove your fillings, you need to find someone, who is qualified to do it or you could make your problem worse...as I read.

Impositive...you mentioned ichy scalp. I've had a little of that the past few weeks as well. Notice, women's vaginal, men's jock, and other yeast type infecions all itch? My son, and a good friend suffer with pysorsis. There are links to it being candida. Pysorisis is very ichy, and white (like yeast infections). Pysorisis is also a autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, most med's given for pysorisis are immune suppessent which in effect makes it worse. Why in the world if medicine knows it's candida overgrowth, prescribe something that's goings to exasberate the condiditon?

If Candida is your psoriasis causes, the best way to treat it is with a Candida treatment program. This program is composed of Six Steps that work together to conquer your Candida overgrowth. The Six Steps include all natural anti-fungals as well as a special diet to kill the fungus.

Many of the studies listed here treated the Candida overgrowth with oral nystatin. Nystatin, a weak antifungal drug, primarily targets intestinal yeast. It is fairly safe but there are side effects so use it only under a doctors supervision.

In one study ⁹, 4 cases of long term, bodily psoriasis (10-25 years) were cured with oral nystatin within several months. In another study, nystatin treatment created a fast and long-lasting regression of seborrheic dermatitis. ³

Nystatin is available by prescription only so you need to find a doctor that accepts Candida overgrowth as one of the psoriasis causes.

• Wild Oil of Oregano, I read is a powerful antifungal supplement.

If it's the case that rootcanals and fillings are the root to all of our diseases, why try...I'm doomed!

where do u get coconut oil and oil of oregano?

Impositive, I have 3 root canals. All of my molars are filled. I have two molars capped. I don't know of any infection. One root canal has a very small cavity under it. Right now ... there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. One dentist did say that I need a deep cleaning and that was financially too costly as well.

I did read that most of the mercury that is put into the teeth is leeched out into the body and that there isn't a lot left in the actual tooth. If this is true the goal should be to detox the mercury and other toxins out of the body. I read that Pau D Arco is great detoxer...the tea. In some cases, I read testimonies that it rid people of their tumors. Julia mentioned cilantro is a great detoxer of metals in our body. We use it in our salads. Tasty.

If coconut oil is bothering you, try oregonal oil or avacado oil. Dry skin is a symptom of a thyroid problem. With all your thyroid symptoms, I would get your thyroid checked out. Check out Stop Thyroid Madness. They have links that could help you. Another consideration concerning dry skin...how much fat are you getting into your diet? Lack of good fats can dry out the skin. Another reason...a doctor said to me when in college (I complained about ichy dry skin) that taking daily showers, most soaps, and using lotion drys out the skin. He said if you constantly use lotions that our skin stops making it's own...also most lotions block our pores. I did what he said and my skin returned to normal. At post menapausal, my skin is soft and moist.

Ichy head...I read, which I'm going to try as well... Wash your hair (clean head)  afterwards rub oregonal oil into the scalp. The next morning wash your hair. The oragano oil is anti fungal and gets rid of the fugus causing dandruff and fungi in the hair follicle.  I read testimonies where doing this or using other anti fungal oils helped women and men hair growth.

Hehe, thanks to this thread (and others), I am right now sipping a glass of filtered water with Lugol's iodine, oil of oregano, and Pau D'Arco extract. Whooooooo, it's strong stuff! Die, fungi, die! LOL

crunchy, blech, that sounds awful!  How does it taste?  ....I'm also trying to remember what springtime said about iodine when she had surgery coming up.  Can't recall the reason, but I think she was told to discontinue iodine prior to surgery.  Don't mean to hijack the thread, but my attention span still resembles a gnat...  The sloan kettering site says aloe vera juice has the effect of thinning blood and should be avoided prior to surgery.  I'm not aware that crunchy drinks aloe vera juice, but this is a snippet of information that seems permanently lodged in my brain, so I repost it periodically. 

I wasn't going to post again here, since it makes my head spin with frustration.  However, maybe we need to clarify the original topic title, "The Fungal Theory."  As Timothy pointed out, there are actually a lot of different "theories" in this thread. 

The original post says:

Has anyone researched the theory that cancer is fungal related? I have chosen to go the alternative route, refusing chemo and rads. I have done so much research since my dx that I feel I should receive some sort of degree! I have researched and studied this theory and find it very interesting. This theory is shared by various people including Dr.Tulio Simoncini, an Italian Oncologist who has (allegedly) had great success in treating cancer with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda!), Dr. Robert Young, a microbiologist who has wriiten several books on the body's pH, Dr. AV Constantini, former head of the World Health Organization, who wrote the book "Breast Cancer, Hope at Last" and Doug Kauffman who has a cable TV show called "Know the Cause" (His website is knowthecause.com).  

My personal opinion on this topic is that it's nonsense quackery. "Dr." Robert Young, Dr. Tulio Simoncini, and Doug Kaufmann are all charlatans whose nonsense has been rejected and disproven (not just UNproven) by science and medical research many times over.  If you look to "Know The Cause" for your medical information, then .... good luck with that.  It's about as real as reality TV.

The facts as I understand them (and please feel free to share if I'm wrong) are that yes-fungus is present in a lot of cancer patients and healthy people too.  Yes, some  specific viruses and mycotoxins are known to be carcinogenic. Viruses, yeast, bacteria, etc are opportunistic infections, to which a cancer patient is obviously susceptible. Motheroffoursons has pointed out multiple times the microscopic distinctions between cancer cells and fungus.  

Trained pathologists and oncologists say that human breast cancer cells are NOT fungus. Why on earth would we, in general a group of nonmedical, untrained except by virtue of being thrown into this cancer world, PATIENTS presume to know more than all the researchers and medical doctors and pathologists, etc.?  Unless you firmly subscribe to some bizarre conspiracy theory and can't be bothered by facts, you'll realize that all the evidence lies solidly in the cancer-is-NOT-a-fungus camp.

thenewme...I came to the thread basically sitting on the fence about the fungus theory. What made me sit up and think more about it was my recent candida infection. The doctors didn't even try to look for the cause of my problems. They just contributed my problem to heartburn. Heartburn wasn't even a problem for me! They wouldn't accept that I could have a oral yeast problem unless I had chemo or AIDS...even after 4 rounds of antibiotics. My primary doctor said that she only knew how to write a prescription. Thank God for the Internet...by my searching, I learned it was a yeast infection...once I eradicated the yeast, my mouth sores disappeared, dizzy spells gone, virtigo gone, white growth on tongue gone. For the first time in a several months, I felt normal...BECAUSE ... I searched for the root cause of my sickness.


I'm amazed in all the years doctors prescribed antibiotics that they never said to take pro-biotics! Where's the medical wisdom in that?


I recently spoke with a oncologist researcher, pharmasist (she is the daughter of a good friend) and...she has several degrees. She didn't think the fungal theory was bogus.
